Hello Abbers! Spring is coming! Spring is coming! It's cold this morning and only supposed to get to 50 today, but 60 tomorrow and then 3 days of 70's and sun later this week! I hope it really happens the way the forecast says now! That means I will get out there and finish fall cleanup in the garden. Finally. :H
Marshy, you used a word yesterday describing the drinking or drunks in your old college town that I have never heard. I was going to ask you what it meant but now I forgot the word. Will have to go back and look! I went to 2 colleges and 1 junior college on the long and winding road to a degree. One of them was "known" as the party school but I couldn't tell a difference in the monumental partying between any of the ones I attended, or the several others I visited on that journey. All the parents who thought they were keeping their kids "safe" by NOT sending them to the "party school..." well, you know.
Rived, good to see you becoming a "regular" in our merry band! My first dog (RIP Caesar) grew up in Florida where we had AMAZING thunderstorms nearly every afternoon in the summer. He became afraid of them at some point. My guess is that lightening must have struck really close to the house where he could "feel" it or something. Because all of a sudden he started going "up" every time it stormed, which was often every day. I would come home from work and find stuff from the top of the refrigerator all over the floor. Took me a while to figure it out. One day I was home when it stormed and up he went on top of the kitchen counter in a single bound. Then one more bound and up on top of the refregerator he went. Didn't want to come down until the storm was over. :H I worked with a doggy shrink (:H yes I was crazy and was the one needing a shrink) but he never did totally get over it.
T2C - don't pet the whales!
I blew off my leads group meeting this morning. We are allowed a certain number of absences per year. I have been really good about attendance after getting sober and getting back to living a good life (imagin that!). So today is just a morning off.
I'm thinking about going back to Curves for working out. It's been fun to go to the big boy gym, but I'm discovering that this old body does have some limitations. I've been hit and miss with workouts lately but I never was that way with Curves. So I stopped by there on Friday and picked up a 1 week free pass and will see how that feels this week. I'm also getting my hair done and picking up the invitations for my open house Mary Kay "business debut" coming up later in April. I need to get the invites out this week!
My brother left a message last night that he is in town, just for today. Nothing like a little notice! :H I used to let that stuff get me upset, but now I know it's just the way he is and I accept it. So I'll be making a family visit this afternoon. Tomorrow Sister is having surgery so will be at the hospital some in addition to some work responsibilities. I am SO GRATEFUL to be living a regular life instead of waking up every day in misery, physically and mentally, and then figuring out how to cancel "life" so I could drink in peace.
